Happy Birthday James

Happy Fourth Birthday James!

James holding one of his birthday presents (this one a puzzle from us).

Jason and Lily gave him a nice easel with big rolls of paper, chalk and markers.

Here is the big wheel that we gave him. A kids gotta have one.

An excellent chocolate gelato cake with a Cars theme.

Vimeo seems to be coughing up errors at the moment. I’ll post some video when it starts working again.

The cake was great. I never had a gelato cake before and I’m a convert. It was just as good as an ice cream cake, but different enough to be unique. James had a great time opening presents even though he was doing so more than a week in advance of his birthday. With an impending birth coming along travelling wasn’t something we are doing at this point. Amy and James were happy to oblige us and celebrate early. That way we could be there too.
